Before I could even break in a word, Jackson pins me up against the door. I look at him and he looks at me as if I could sense his hunger for me. His fingers traced around my cheek and down my neck. Every little bit left that cold burn I enjoyed. My body started to have a happy buzz that I always get from him. I had that same hunger as he had, I craved his kiss more than anything. His lips trailed up my neck leaving me breathless. A moan slipped from my lips and he pulled me closer. His lips went up to the side of my jaw kissing me inch by inch until he reached my lips. His fingers drifted up to my legs as his lips pressed into mine. My fingers twisted into his hair as I craved him. I felt him starting to pull away.
I try to catch my breath. "Jackson….What was that!" I questioned almost weakly.
He laughed and gave me that devilish smile that I have always loved even when it's being used against me! I grew weak at that smile and used all my will not to grab him.
"Jackson you aren't funny! Now what did you want to tell me!" I demanded.
He smiled "Well how do you feel about London?" he asked.
I gave that puzzled look and wanted to jump for joy but there is no way I would be able to go.
"It's for sure one of the places I would love to see before I die. Why?" I questioned.
Again with that smile. I bit my lip, trying to hold back that hunger.
"We leave Sunday!" he said with a large smile.
I gasped. I ran right into his arms knocking him onto the stairs with me into his arms.
"EEK! WHAT!" I yelled with glee.
He nodded. "I talked to Connie about taking you out of the country. I said that either you go on your own or I accompany you and protect you. She wavered but in the end, I was right. We leave Sunday." he said.
I wanted to scream in happiness but I knew that the neighbors might be a little worried. Instead, I pressed a hard kiss onto his lips.
"Thank you, Jax. I don't know what I would do without you!" I said overly excited.
I knew I wanted to stay on those stairs with him forever but I was hungry and not just for him. I think he started to sense that I was hungry.
He looked at me brushing the hair out of my face, "Chinese?" he asked.
I think my eyes widened in happiness. I nodded, "Jax, I'm going to shower let me know when food is here." I said with a smile.
He smiled but I felt like he didn't want to let me go. Inside I didn't want him to let go. Soon his fingers slowly left my body and I was able to stand up. I walked up the stairs still thinking of his kiss and the icy burn that he leaves on my body.
I started dropping my clothes the second I stepped into my room. Leaving the trail to the bathroom. I turned on the hot water and stepped into the heat. I closed my eyes and plunged myself into the water. The water has always been my friend, as it has always soothed me. What felt like mere seconds really was thirty minutes.
Jackson opened the door, "Indie dinner is here!" he yelled over the water.
Somehow this startled me. "Okay, I will be out in a second," I said and I heard the door shut and I turned off the water.
I reached out for my towels and I took a deep breath. I needed to stabilize myself before getting out. I can't believe that in two days I will be going to London, I will be able to be a normal girl. I can walk hand and hand with Jackson without questions. I don't have the government being my watchdog.
I walked into my room, slid my towel off, and put on my silk robe. I walked to the mirror and combed out my tangles and decided to braid my hair into two beautiful braids. I started to walk towards the stairs but instead of going, I caught a glimpse of Jackson's room the lights were on. I started walking towards his room. The smell of food drifted as I walked each step. I walked into his room and there he sat with the food.
"Jax! I was going to head downstairs!" I said as I was confused.
He flashed that smile that made me weak and all was forgiven. "Well, I thought this would be a better place to eat. We can watch a movie." He said sweetly.
I smiled, just like that he knew the way to my heart.
"Fine but I want to see 'Romance on the High Seas'" I said with a smile.
He laughed "Can't we ever watch something from this century?" He teased me.
I rolled my eyes, "Fine! Twilight it is!" I said in objection.
He sighed but he put it on. I slid into the bed next to him. I grabbed the sweet and sour chicken and started watching the movie.
"So, are you excited about London?" He asked.
My eyes widened as I was finishing a bite of egg roll. "Extremely! No watchdogs!" I said with excitement.
He laughed "Indiana! You do realize I work for those watchdogs!" he said as if I forgot.
That statement made me roll my eyes! Jackson may have worked for them but he wasn't them. Okay yes he always had to know where I was but he's my protector.
"Jackson don't start!" I objected.
He laughed as he placed a hand on the bare part of my thigh. Just as soon as he touched me, it was gone. He started cleaning up our dinner mess.
I laid back and finish watching the movie. I debated with myself on who I can relate to more Edward or Bella or if somehow I'm a weird mix of the two. Jackson always says he understands what I'm going through but I don't think he does. Its like being smothered by something you can't see, well I can see it and most of it is people who want to do anything and everything to please me. It can be stressful, I can't even imagine how it would be if I could read people's thoughts. Ugh! I must have been deep in thought because I felt arms wrap around me and pull me in.
"Indie? Are you okay?" he asked as he could see me deep in thought.
I nodded, "Sorry I was just thinking." I said a little dazed and out of it.
He looked a little puzzled. "What's wrong?" he questioned.
I took a deep breath, "Yeah, actually would you like to go shopping with me tomorrow? I need new clothes for London!" I said.
He laughed and leaned in and placed a small peck on my lips. "Of course Indie!" he said with a smile.
I looked down "Ugh I need to go get some pajamas on!" as I was still in my robe.
He laughed and I knew he didn't care. He pulled me in closer and ran his fingers up my leg towards my hip.
"Hmm I haven't even noticed!" He said with a sly smile. He leaned in and started placing soft kisses on my collar bone.
"Oh really? I think you noticed a long time ago. I think the hunger clouded my judgement." I said teasing him.
His kisses started to linger up and I started to breathe heavily. My head spun in drug induced daze. I craved this feeling more than anything. I couldn't hold back anymore as he bit into my neck and I let out a moan. I grabbed his shirt pulling him closer to me. His lips moved closer to my lips.
I was spinning in happiness until he lightly kissed my lips and said "Good Night Indiana!"
I took a deep breath and knew right then and there this was payback for this morning. I knew to gather myself before getting up and I knew I needed to walk out pissed. I stood up and walked right past him even shaking his hand off my arm. If he wants to play games, I will play games.
